I... documented all of that in the OP.
Running the USB against a physical machine, not a VM. The point here is I need to have a physical windows machine once a year. I hate to waste an entire disc slot for it, thus USB/NVME.
Yes, I've tested 4k RW. 70-100/200-250MB/s. Random is pretty similar. I also tested with a hardware RAID 0 of two of these NVME discs. Zero change in performance. I also tested with the slowest, oldest USB 2.0 flash drive I could find, and it was identical.
